Displace some workers (5)
I believe the answer is:
shift
I believe this is a double definition.
'displace' is the first definition.
(shifting is a kind of displacing)
'some workers' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
(Other definitions for shift that I've seen before include "Move; straight dress" , "Dislodge" , "Move - working period" , "Key to move between lower- and upper-case" , "Change location" .)
